Relaxed hair journey 💋

I was natural for 11 years before I decided to relax my hair. I found myself turning into a straight natural as I didn’t care to wear my curly hair. I didn’t see the point of being natural anymore and when I was relaxed in the past I had healthy relaxed hair.

I also have scalp psoriasis so trying to find actual natural hair products became expensive.

I’ve been relaxed since August 2023. I no longer have a battle with my psoriasis. I wash my hair weekly in #Olaplex products. I am excited to see how long I can grow my hair with a relaxer.

Disclaimer: I did not dye and relax my hair at the same appointment.

Is anyone thinking of transitioning to a relaxer? Or just recently transitioned? Let me know in the comments

... Read moreTransitioning to relaxed hair can be both exciting and challenging, especially for those who have been natural for years. Many individuals face similar dilemmas regarding their hair type, health, and maintenance routines. If you're considering relaxing your hair, understanding the effects on your hair's integrity and your scalp's health, especially with conditions like psoriasis, is crucial. With the right products, such as Olaplex, and a consistent care routine, it's possible to maintain hair health even after switching from natural to relaxed styles. It’s also important to remember that everyone's hair journey is unique, and what works for one person might not work for another. In your transition, take the time to experiment with products and styling techniques that suit your hair's new texture. Engaging with communities online can also provide support and tips as you navigate your own hair journey, from managing scalp issues to maintaining vibrant hair color while relaxed. Share your experiences and connect with others who have made the same change to learn from their journeys too.

I permed my hair two years ago after being natural for years. I perm it once every three months. I feel like my hair growth is better than it was than when it was natural. #relaxedhaircare #relaxedhair #hair growth 😏

Natural Hair Journey
We all have to start somewhere but you can start on my shoulders and learn from my experiences. Healthy hair-permed or natural is a process and takes routine and consistency. The most important thing to learn from me, is to get those ends trimmed!! It doesn’t matter how much your hair grows if it’s
